Introdution• Many of us think of the Internet as a global
community.
• But two-thirds of the world’s population does not yet have Internet access.
• Solution:Balloon powered internet
• Fastest, easier and cheaper way .

What is Project Loon?• Internet access for those areas of the earth
where regular Internet isn’t a good option.
• It is a global network of high altitude balloons.
• Internet access comparable to 3G networks • Stay aloft for 100+ days at a time far longer
than typical weather balloons.

• They are steerable and entirely solar powered.
• Uses wind data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
• Helps to cover gaps.
• Concept :create a fleet of atmospheric satellites that can talk to each other and to the ground.

• Rich DeVaul, chief technical architect.
• Mike Cassidy, a project leader
• Cyrus Behroozi, a networking and telecommunication lead.

History
• In 2008,Google considered contracting Space Data Corp,but didn’t do so.
• 2011, the unofficial development of the project began under incubation in Google X.
• 16 June 2013,Google began a pilot experiment in new zealand.
• In May-June 2014 Google tested its balloon powered internet access venture in Piaui Brazil.

The Technology: How Loon moves?
*Travel approximately 20 km above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere.
![Page 9: Google Loon presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102521/5585cad7d8b42aa01a8b4a4a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Winds in the stratosphere are stratified.
• Each layer of wind varies in speed and direction.
• Uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go
• Form one large communications network.

Stratosphere • • Engineering challenges: • air pressure is 1% that at sea level• This thin atmosphere offers less protection
from UV radiation • Temperature can reach as low as -80°C.
• Advantages• Steady winds• Above weather events, wildlife, and airplanes.

The Technology:How Loon connects?
![Page 12: Google Loon presentation](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102521/5585cad7d8b42aa01a8b4a4a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Provide connectivity to a ground area about 40 km in diameter
• Project Loon uses ISM bands (Specifically 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands).
• Each balloon is equipped with GPS for tracking it’s location.

ENVELOPE*The inflatable part of the balloon ,of Helium
*Material: Sheets of polyethylene plastic..
*Dimensions: fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall when fully inflated
.

Solar panels
• It uses high efficiency monocrystalline solar cells.
• The panels produce approximately 100 Watts of power in full sun.

Electronics
• A small box (10 kg)
• circuit boards that control the system
• radio antennas
• lithium ion batteries

Loon’s Antenna • Main components inside
the shell: -the radio -the antenna -Reflector• Two antennas• Dual polarized antennas

Equipment Failure in air?
• Gas is released from the envelope to bring the balloon down to Earth in a controlled descent.
• In the unlikely event that a balloon drops too quickly, a parachute attached to the top of the envelope is deployed

How does cold effect Loon battery?
• lithium ion batteries don't do very well in the cold.
• Whole system is insulted to reflect and trap heat that coming off electronics.
• Multi-layer insulation is used.

Conclusion• This project is still experimental.
• The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere
• Connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna .
• Google believes it will be a feasible ,cost-effective and reliable project.
